Everyone at Voltaic were very friendly and very knowledgeable about the services I required. I was able to get in within a week of me calling up where i wouldn't have been able to get in until 2025 for the more commercialised companies like ironman 4x4 and TJM. I am very happy with the service they provided. I will be coming back for more work on our 4x4

Daniel Ripp

I found Voltaic Auto Electrical after looking for a 12v system for my Ford Ranger over a year ago, i ended up going with one of the battery box setups as i don't require constant power in my tub. The service and quality I received on that initial job has guaranteed them a client for life. I will always go to Voltaic for all my auto electrical work and have been back for tail lights, rear lights, electrical tidying, and no doubt I will be back for more in the future.Big thanks to the team at Voltaic.They also have great merchandise.

My car air-conditioning was blowing warm air, so I wanted it checked before the hot Perth summer arrived. I received fantastic customer service from Voltaic from start to finish. Friendly customer service, honest feedback to advise that due to the age of my car, it might be an expensive repair, speedy diagnosis and repair which ended in happy news - my gas needed topping up and a filter change. I would thoroughly recommend Voltaic Auto Electrical.

Martin Abbott

The Team at Voltaic pulled out all stops to have our vehicle fitted with a UHF radio and flashing beacon at short notice and no compromise with the quality of work carried out. Excellent service, thank you.

Rob Warrilow

Can't fault them . Great service . Very polite and helpful. I'd recommend them for any of their auto electrical services .

Vanessa Hayes (Nessa)

Friendly, helpful staff, fair pricing..Had a UHF radio/aerial installed by someone else that wasn't performing as expected so bought a new one. They took the old one out & put the new one in, in no time! Also grateful that they didn't use the aerial mount provided because it would have damaged my paintwork, and instead found a different mount that worked. I'll have no hesitation in taking my car back here for future installs!

daniel woods

Steve Lindley

Was very happy with the workmanship from Voltaic and Deon when fault finding my Redarc issues. They were prompt and precise with every detail, and kept me in a constant loop of feedback when required. In my previous roles I would audit businesses and part of this was their workshop. I would be happy to say, I was impressed by the layout and cleanliness of the workshop from an exterior viewing. I would be contacting them again when next in Perth for any auto electrical work I may have.

Peter Haslam

Very good job installing dash camera good clean install, had to return following day as they failed to reconnect the tail gate switch but only took a couple of minutes so all good. Would recommend for electrical works on your vehicle.

Doug Hubble

My 10 year old Hyundai has had poor aircon for some time and decided to do something about it. Voltaic was recommended by my regular mechanic so I called by late on Friday. They offered to run a diagnostic test then and there and the outcome was they could book me in first thing on Monday. It was all over by 10am when they called. I collected the car with some very cold air flowing and paid my $199 which I was thrilled. The service by all concerned was first rate and the outcome is better than I hoped.I will gladly recommend them to anyone and will very happily return when needed. Thanks to all concerned.

Danyul Lowe

They do their damn best and actually explain the work they did in a way you can understand.
